(KTNC)-- The Johnson County Hospital will be getting an extension added on.
According to the Tecumseh Chiefton, the board of adjustments for the City of Tecumseh approved a resolution authorizing the Johnson County Hospital a front yard setback variance of 20 feet to allow for an expansion on the surgical suite located on the southwest corner of the hospital.
The expansion of the surgical suite will include an additional 1,500 square feet.
Carolyn Beethe, who represented the hospital, said the expansion of the surgical suite will allow for more types of surgeries, especially orthopedic surgeries. She also added the the exisiting surgical suite is too small for some of the modern equipment.
